Food sharing?

    If your friend asked you for a bite of your burger would you say yes?

    What about a sup out of your can of coke?

    Or a slurp of your icecream cone?

    What would your reaction be?

    A - Suppress the urge to eye gouge them & politely smile & offer your food/snack/beverage
    B - Tell him/ her to go fook themselves & get their own & then spit on the food to show your dizzgust. (no not disgust, dizzgust, it sounds posh)
    C - Make em feel bad about the whole sordid business but hand it over anyway.

    Personally i would rather give away my hugely frowned-upon & talked about collection of used condoms than share a very personal food item like a burger.

    I'd tell him to fuck off and get his own food!

    Friends?
    Sharing food?
    :confused:
    You can't PM food.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    Happens all the time to me :(
    I have quite a small appetite,so anything left on my plate after a certain amount of time is devoured. Even if I wasn't finished. :(
    My revenge will come when we all turn 40 something and they're all fat bastards!

    Muahahaha!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    depends on what i'm eating,and how close a friend.
    I'd have no bother sharing chips or something,but i'd wanna really know them before i let them have a lick of my ice cream!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    I hate sharing my food. I hate coming back from the bar with a pint and a pack of Tayto's only for 5 other people to take a few each leaving me with fúck all. I don't want anyone elses hands in my bag of Taytos to begin with. I don't want your saliva on my burger or your sweaty fingers on my chips and you can fúck right off if you want a slurp of my Coke.

    Id sooner give away the whole burger and buy a new one instead of handing it over for some mooch to take chunks out of it.

    Wheres that option OP. Well?

    If a friend wanted to help themselves, so be it. I often can't finish what I'm eating anyway, and have often ASKED them to dig in. would be silly to get annoyed about this tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    Depends on who the mate is, tbh. And I'm more likely to share a drink than something like a burger, as the contact with the drink container is less likely to harbour their filthy germs than my food stuffs...

    If I'm at the pub with some mates and I'm hungry, I'll get a some chips and onion rings or something and let the lads have at it, I don't mind. Most of my friends will share their food with me and everyone else while they're in the pub, and the bar man usually has some too. Food that's brought into the pub is generally a communal kinda thing in my circle of friends I guess, and sure if someone takes some chips, I've probably had someone else's chips at another stage, so what's the bother?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie


    I dont like people going near my plate with out asking permission.... It my food I want to eat it bye your own.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 376 ✭✭Ozzy


    I will share small loose food (skittles, burger bites, chewitts, chips, etc.) but that's all - not ferrero rocher there's not enough. and I empty them into your sweaty hand or you can hop it jack.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Kick in the face just for asking! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,160 ✭✭✭Kimono-Girl


    nobody touches my food!:mad: i don't mind sharing an ice cream with my OH but there is no way my friends are getting a bite of my food!

    anyway they'll eat it wrong,

    they'll never nibble the edges of the milky bar, carefully cutting out the milky bar kid with their teeth...no, they'll just bite the poor guys head off...:(

    You should have gone to the 2 for the price of 1 chippers, and then none of the above would apply... Everyone's happy?

    Scumbag once asked me for a bite of my sandwich. I said no. He punched me in the face.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 793 ✭✭✭vicecreamsundae


    there are two factors to take into consideration.

    1. how personal the food is.
    I) level one foods: any foods that allow for a clean pick- crisps, sweets, popcorn, chips. [though i hate when you offer bag of sweets to someone and they shuffle their filthy paw around in the bag for ten seconds. ughhh.
    II) level two foods: anything that involves repeat use of an implement which will cause contamination. fork to pasta to mouth to pasta etc.
    III) level three foods are anything that require direct mouth contact -a bite, a lick... within these there are subsets depending on the texture of the food, and the amount of tongue involved. a bite of a burger is preferable to a lick of an ice cream
    IV) liquids are their own category, and backwash is always a possibility.

    2. how hot the person is.
    I) very hot. generally, if you would welcome their tongue in your mouth or elsewhere, you are on a gum sharing level.
    II) an attractive friend or unattractive but really cool friend. you'd offer a bite of a sandwich but lollipops are out of the question
    III) code reds. people who you happen to know have bad oral hygiene, perhaps someone who smokes if that bothers you, someone who was JUST telling you about the disgusting place their mouth was last night, or someone who's just a dick and too cheap to buy their own slice of pizza.

    if in doubt, knock back most of it and give it to them telling them " actually you can finish it, i'm full".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 949 ✭✭✭LoanShark


    I dont mind sharing food with my friends..

    There was one particular night me and a friend were in Coopers and i got a stick gum from the attendent in the gents, at the end of the night I was chewing the gum, my mate who was just as drunk as I was, asked me what was I chewing, I said gum and held it it my teeth to show him, he grabs the gum and sticks it into his mouth...Not a bother on either of us!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 131 ✭✭xoixo


    Depends on the friend. If its someone I'm quite close with and consider to be clean, hygienic then I don't mind.

    Also depends on the food. A burger, no. Involves too much mouth touching/saliva. But a sip of coke or asking for a crisp, no problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭ordinary_girl


    I've had a big issue with people who ask to have a sup of my drink. I always just say I have a sort throat, and that puts them off. I'm odd about germs, if I let someone else have a bit of my drink then I actually can't drink it anymore.

    I'm not so tight about food, but it depends on the person and the mood I'm in!

    This happens if they touch my plate without the go ahead, I've done it to family members too :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    i'll share my food with my friends or family, wouldn't think twice about it.

    anyone else and i'll kick them in the face :mad:

    Did you do to Clongowes by any chance?:)

    Some foods I wouldn't have a problem sharing such as crisps,chips,chocolate etc. I wouldn't share food such as a burger though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,728 ✭✭✭dazftw

    If the person is hot, sure, they can lick my ice cream :pac: Don't really mind sharing my food tbh, I usually have food left over and offer it to people anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    I'd share any food if asked, I really don't mind. But I absolutely cannot stand someone reaching over with their fork and spearing something off my plate without asking first. That's just rude and I'll take you down to verbal Chinatown if you even attempt it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 476 ✭✭Nuggles


    I once asked a friend if she had gum. She said that this was her last piece, and stuck out her tongue with the chewed gum.

    I snatched it off her tongue.

    I share food. Unless it's a dime bar. Can't share a dime bar.

    Jesus, it's like a nation of Jerry Seinfelds. "Agh, nasty germs, help!"
    Ponces. Perfumed ponces.

    I'll share pretty much anything on the tacit understanding that what goes around comes around.

    And now for the herpes gags.
    Hah, yeah, I get it, a contaminated ball gag. Good stuff.

    People still have certain fundamental animal instinct but are suppress by society in some ways. For instant, if you hadn't eaten anything for 24 hours, you make a sandwich and then someone (who also hasn't eaten for 24 hours) asks for a piece. You think to yourself for a second, "No, this is mine not yours", you might even consider attacking them to try and insure that the food remains yours. Then your civilised mentality comes in and says "Well maybe I'll be nice, just this once, I mean he hasn't done anything to me". So you give him a small piece but your first thought was a product of you animal instincts that were ingrained in your subconscious mind.

    Normally I share the food bill while living with mates, but wouldn't let them drink out of my can, or eat my icecream or anything like that.

    I response would be, "Man.... seriously..."

    It works :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,488 ✭✭✭kingtut

    they'll never nibble the edges of the milky bar, carefully cutting out the milky bar kid with their teeth...no, they'll just bite the poor guys head off...:(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    I share most stuff, within reason.

    I wouldn't share an ice-cream though, unless it's with a child (got to teach them to share somehow, and they always have the nicest ice-creams), or it was someone I was willing to kiss.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    The only food I share is of the white perl variety


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,220 ✭✭✭✭Loopy


    No I don't like sharing. What really pisses me off is when your buying stuff and ask your mate 'do you want crisps/chips' or whatever and they say NO, and then ask for some of yours..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 74 ✭✭vonnie10


    i really don't like sharing food at all and it's not to be greedy or anything its just that when you share food it usually means somebody else touching the food you're about to eat which is what i take issue with. I have one friend who is constantly asking for a mouthful if i have a bottle of water and i begrudgingly allow him but i always just let him keep it cos i don't like drinking out of something that somebody else has unless it was my OH . I don't have a problem sharing crisps or chips really but i hate sharing drinks..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭Nidot


    I absolutely hate other people taking my food.

    I've got a buddy who does this all the time.

    We'll be out for a few drinks and I'll tell him I'm going next door to get a packet of chips or something, I'll ask him does he want anything and of course he always says no.

    Thn when I get back he'll reach over and help himself to half of what I got.

    AAARRRGGGHHH

    Like I got a small chips coz I was hungry, if you wanted some I would of got a large chips, now f off from my chips, I'm hungry, that's why I got them.

    AAARRGGGHHH

    Really annoys me at times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 109 ✭✭chickenchaser


    I hate it when people buy food, claim they wont be able to finish it all, and try to guilt you into sharing it. And give out about food going to waste because you don't want to eat their leftovers!
